Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 27: The 500 Yuan Crisis




Ji Jianyun had a feeling that she would definitely become pregnant this time!

“Don’t get your hopes up. This kind of thing depends on fate,” Su Danhong spoke with much concern after seeing how he seemed so sure about it.

If she did not have the spiritual spring, then she would be a little worried. However, she was confident that her body was absolutely fine because of the mystical spiritual spring. Even if her body did have a problem, it would get better by drinking this spiritual spring water!

Thus, having a child was only a matter of time. 𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘹𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Moreover, the chances were not very great because he was only home once or twice a year. This was not her problem. Didn't she see that Mother Ji never said anything to the original owner about this matter?

“Honey, don't tell me that you don’t want to have a child?” On hearing her tone, Ji Jianyun froze for a moment and quickly asked her.

“I want one.” Su Danhong looked at him strangely. Where did this man hear that she didn't want to have a child?

“Then you don't take it seriously?” Ji Jianyun asked.

“It’s fine to let nature take its course. You can’t force it to happen. If it doesn't happen now, then it will certainly happen in the future,” Su Danhong said, and got up.

Ji Jianyun was a little worried. For some reason, he really felt like his wife didn't want to have a child. Now that his wife had become so beautiful, and he was away from home all the time, he really wanted to stay at home.

It's not that he didn’t trust his wife, but it would be better if they had a child together.

Su Danhong went to get ready and used the toothpaste she bought in town. She found that life was much more convenient than the past.

For example, when her monthly periods came every month, the things she used were clean and hygienic. It was also very convenient to brush her teeth with toothpaste.

Today was the first day of the New Year. They had to eat a sweet breakfast because it was a tradition so that the year would be sweet and happy.

Su Danhong didn't have a big appetite. She didn’t eat more after eating a bowl.

After breakfast, the whole family sat around talking. Somehow, the topic became about the increasing housing prices in Jiangshui City.

“They all say that the prices will rise again next year, but fortunately we bought ours a long time ago,” Ji Jianwen said.

Feng Fangfang was the first to laugh and ask, “Younger brother-in-law, did you spend a lot of money to buy an apartment? How much did father and mother give you?”

As soon as she said these words, the room became quiet.

Ji Mudan also asked, “Right, father and mother must have paid for your home, right? We don't mean anything, we just want to ask about it.”

Father Ji and Mother Ji’s complexion did not look so good.

Yun Lili knew that they, as the fourth branch, took advantage of this matter, but what was wrong with this? How much face did they have by buying a home in Jiangshui City?

It was much better than building a house in the countryside!

Ji Jianwen also stopped talking.

“It’s the New Year. Why are you talking about this?” Eldest brother-in-law, Ji Jianguo, was angry and glared at Feng Fangfang.

Second brother-in-law, Ji Jianye, also meant to glare at Ji Mudan, but it was obvious that they also had a problem with their parents giving money to Ji Jianwen to buy a house.

“Fine! Fine! I know what you’re trying to say. You just want to know how much money we gave to Lao Si’s family. The place cost 1,500 yuan, and your father and I gave 500 yuan!” Mother Ji knew that if she wasn’t honest today, then this matter would not end, so she just said it openly.

“500 yuan?” Feng Fangfang raised her voice. Then, she looked at Yun Lili and said with a sneer, “Fourth sister-in-law has it really good. She has only been married for two years. These 500 yuan is almost equivalent to all of our parents' retirement, but you dare to take it?!”

“An average family would not be able to save 500 yuan even if they saved their money for all their lives. Fourth sister-in-law definitely has it good and immediately cleaned out father and mother’s wealth. If you go hide in the city and our parents need something, then won’t it be us who will have to take care of them?” Ji Mudan began to criticize.

At this time, she was full of anger. 500 yuan. How many years had it been since the family separated? She was only able to save 70 or 80 yuan through hard work.

There were not many people in the family who could compare with the amount she saved, and even Feng Fangfang's family did not exceed this number.

But when Yun Lili was buying a home, she received 500 yuan from the old couple. How could she not be angry?

“Eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, don't misunderstand, I borrowed it from my parents,” Ji Jianwen explained and his complexion also looked a little ugly.

“Borrow? What do you mean borrow? Oh, so if you say you borrowed it, then it’s borrowed!” Feng Fangfang was blunt and immediately lashed out.

She was the first to be married into the family when Ji Jianwen was still studying. Back then, almost all the members of the family were providing for him. Although he was not accepted into a college, he stayed in Jiangshui City because of his relationship with Yun Lili's family. He became a teacher in a public primary school in Jiangshui City.

But the more Feng Fangfang thought about it, the angrier she became. When the whole family was providing for him, even her third brother-in-law, who was a soldier, spent all his monthly salary on him. She thought she would be able to benefit from his fortune, so she swallowed all her anger.

But in the end?

In the end, he was the chicken who flew from the coop and left behind broken eggs. He married a wife and lived in Jiangshui City. He never sent a penny back and it was all in the hands of Yun Lili.

When she thought of this, she was full of anger.

Ji Mudan scoffed, “You really have the guts! When Lingling had a high fever, I went to borrow one yuan from mother to take Lingling to the clinic and was flatly refused by her. She said that we have separated and each family has to live on their own. But of course when her birth son asks for 500 yuan, she gives it to him!”

Both of them had very strong opinions. Aside from them, Ji Jianguo and Ji Jianye had not spoken yet.

Ji Jianyun looked at his father and mother and wanted to say a few words. However, this was not something he could solve.

Su Danhong also did not say a word.

This matter was something that Yun Lili and Ji Jianwen naturally had to explain. Yet, Su Danhong saw that the couple obviously did not want to declare their position, so how could she have anything else to say?

“The three families can divide the land behind the mountain,” Father Ji opened his mouth and stated.

“Father, don’t joke about this, okay? What are we going to do with that dry, barren mountain that can't even grow grass?!” Feng Fangfang retorted.

Because of the 500 yuan, her tone towards Father Ji was not respectful. She firmly thought that these two old fools had lost their minds at the end of the earth.

“Fourth brother-in-law, don't you have anything you want to say?” Ji Mudan heartlessly snorted.

Yun Lili saw that her man wanted to say something on impulse and she immediately grabbed him. She explained to Feng Fangfang Ji Mudan, “Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, now that we have bought the place, do you want us to sell it? The Lao Ji family paid 500 yuan, but my mother's side also paid 500 yuan to make a down payment of 1,000 yuan. We have to pay off the mortgage every month now, and we don't have any money to give.”

“They just took some money to buy a home. Since it’s like that, it's not like they won’t pay it back. Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you have gone too far.” Ji Yunyun couldn't watch anymore.

Feng Fangfang snorted and glanced at her. “This is an adult’s business. Yunyun, you should just listen.”

She did not acknowledge Ji Yunyun at all.
